Although I live on the other side of the world the survival of the Reef means as much to me as it does to anyone who knows we must protect our environment.

So I’m posting this letter to me from Richard Leck, the WWF campaigner leading the Fight For The Reef because it needs your support too.

Please read it and add your support by linking to this post via your Facebook and Twitter so your friends and followers will see it and hopefully they will pass it on.

And if you live in Australia why not sign up for the exclusive Fight for the Reef Google Hangout being held next Wednesday 30 October, 8:00 to 8:30pm (AEDST).

Dear Cliff,

UPDATE: In a surprise announcement, the Environment Minister has delayed the deadline for his decision on Abbot Point until 13 December.

The Minister’s office has been inundated with emails from Fight for the Reef supporters – over 14,000 emails have been sent to the Minister this week asking him to reject the plans to dredge and dump off Abbot Point!

The unexpected timing of this delay (the Minister had until 9 November to make an announcement) means your actions and the actions of thousands of people that love the Reef are working.

As a thank you, and because this delay has bought us critical extra time, I’d like to invite you to an exclusive Fight for the Reef Google Hangout I’m holding next Wednesday 30 October, 8:00 to 8:30pm (AEDST).

This Reef Brief will be a chance for me to update you on where the campaign is heading and the significance of the Abbot Point decision to the future of our precious Reef.

Get in early and RSVP for the Reef Brief now.

The Reef Brief will also give you an opportunity to ask questions about the Reef – everything from World Heritage, turtles and Abbot Point to dredging, dumping and corals!

To make sure I cover the issues that matter most to you, take two minutes to send us a question you would like answered during the briefing.

The overnight delay of Abbot Point means the campaign to end the old and destructive method of dredging and dumping is really gaining momentum.

I hope you can join me next Wednesday night!

PS. In a surprise announcement the Environment Minister has delayed the deadline for his decision on Abbot Point! This has bought us critical extra time and so I’m holding a live Reef Briefing next Wednesday night. Get in early and RSVP for the Reef Brief now.
